CALLING

LOUNGE

SAT.05.NOV.2011 Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo’s leading U.K. event, LONDON CALLING is back along with the return of FAC51 HACIENDA! The infamous club from Manchester, the heart of Factory Records and the pulse of the Acid & Rave Generation a.k.a. MADCHESTER has asked us to host the lounge room for THE HACIENDA’S return to Tokyo at one of the hottest clubs to open in recent years… VISION!
We are extremely excited to be offered this opportunity and to share it with you… the heart and soul of London Calling! As we have shown all these years, London Calling has continued to faithfully base itself upon the U.K.’s underground club scene which has consistently pioneered new sounds, urban movements and social scenes as well as adhering to the punk ethos of DIY that was so passionately expressed by the Clash. So, to be asked to host the Lounge for THE HACIENDA is an honor since we have modeled ourselves after this club as well as a few others from the U.K.

The Main Room will feature the legends of House… The BASEMENT JAXX! Yes, the British electronic dance duo from London, England consisting of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe will storm into Tokyo for one night of musical madness. The dynamic duo of the UK House movement of the late 1990’s are here for a special DJ set that will showcase some of their biggest anthems intertwined with new and original tunes! Also along for the ride is JUSTIN ROBERTSON, a DJ known for his eclectic sounds of Balearic, Hard House, and Big Beat. Yes, the Lionrock mainman who was schooled on the Hacienda dancefloor is here to share his musical knowledge for the discerning Tokyo clubber for this special night.

The Lounge hosted by LONDON CALLING will feature a slew of DJ duos ready to battle on the decks for this special night at Vision. So, by keeping with the theme of the night, the DJs in the lounge will push the musical boundaries that are pulsating from the underground scene while at the same time dropping some nostalgic tunes from the hey day of The Hacienda! Yes, each DJ duo will place the stakes higher and higher as the dancefloor melts away into a frenzy of happy ravers! First off we have the DJ duos of… SHOTARO MAEDA vs DR. SHINGO – Two legends of the Tokyo Techno scene squaring off for some blistering beats of Now and Then. Then we have TOTAL M (a.k.a. MILES MAEDA) vs JAY ZIMMERMANN – A mixture of Acid and House that might make you candy flip into another dimension! Continuing on the same vibe of House gone mad are BBC vs ARON T – two bad boys who’s love of house music will put the X in SEX! Finally, the dirt… MARK BIRTLES vs dirty munoz – Tokyo Indie’s main man up against our resident bad boy have been tearing up Tokyo as a duo are bound to leave you scratching that itch you can’t scratch!

So don’t be left asking, “Where’s your head at?” if you miss this night!
